Interesting take on the cordless option—I get the convenience factor, especially with kids. But don't you find the constant refilling a bit tedious? Maybe it's just my arthritis talking, but fiddling with that tiny reservoir every day drove me nuts. Countertop might be bulkier, sure, but at least it's one less thing to fuss over. Curious if anyone else finds the cordless more hassle than it's worth...

Totally get where you're coming from—those tiny reservoirs can be a pain, literally. I went cordless mainly for budget reasons, but honestly, refilling it constantly does get old fast. Countertop seems easier long-term...maybe someday!

I hear you on the tiny reservoirs being a hassle, especially if arthritis is in the picture. I remember recommending a cordless one to my mom because she travels a lot, and she called me a week later saying she was refilling it three times per use and spilling water everywhere—she was not amused, haha. Eventually, we switched her to a countertop model, and she's been much happier since. The bigger reservoir really makes a difference if daily refills are tough on your hands or just plain annoying. Cordless is handy for trips or small bathrooms, but honestly, if you're using it every day at home, countertop seems like the way to go.

Totally agree, countertop is way easier for daily use. I tried cordless first too, thinking it'd save space, but refilling mid-floss got old fast. Now I just keep the cordless packed away for trips—best of both worlds.

Same here, countertop's definitely my daily driver. One tip though: if you're traveling longer than a weekend, pack an extra charger or battery pack. Learned that the hard way halfway through vacation...
